Study Jesus
1,399 wordsTheologians and philosophers have been trying to question who Jesus is for hundreds of year now. This time in the form of what is called the contemporary study of Christology.

Jesus And His Disciples
3,683 wordsDiscipleship At the mention of the word 'disciple', the image most people conjure up is that of a faithful pupil, a person more than willing to follow the teachings of their leader without question. However, the early disciples didn't always conform to this stereotype. In fact, they sometimes showed a complete lack of faith, finding it extremely hard to accept Jesus' word in their hearts. Jesus appointed twelve disciples to symbolize each of the twelve tribes of Israel. In doing so, it were as i...

More Humanistic Jesus
536 wordsMatthew portrays a very God like, all-powerful Jesus, with very few humanistic characteristics. Matthew 2: 3, "at this news King Herod became greatly disturbed". I thought the king would be happy to hear about the birth of Jesus. Apparently the kings intentions were not very nice. I really find this passage interesting, mainly because it separates God from the kingdom. Meaning the King has power and is afraid of losing it to the Son of God. Matthew's description of healing is very interesting; h...

Their Faith In Jesus Christ
301 wordsAleksandr Menn After reading this man's story I began to consider my own faith. I know a martyr is someone who dies for their faith in Jesus Christ. But this man's story seemed to have an added element to it. Not only did he his faith cause his death but it brought about many to eternal life. This man was able to bring faith to many through his words. I consider anyone who can be a public speaker to be talented and bringing people to God is an amazing gift. In a time of mistrust and uncertainty ...

Angry With The Gnostic Teachers

Combatting the Heresy of the So-Called Gnosis You, sibling in the faith and fellow teacher of the church, ask both why I am so angry with the Gnostics and with what rhetorical and theological weapons I fight them.

Jesus To The Romans
2,477 wordsIn this essay, I am to define the meaning of discipleship, for the first disciples and for Christians today. The word disciple means to learn, but there are many differences between disciples today, and disciples 2000 years ago, in the midst of a hostile Roman Empire. The very first disciples of the resurrection were the holy women, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome. If Christianity is defined as the belief that Jesus died, and was resurrected, and then to me, these women were...

Faith In Order
1,216 wordsFaith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light. -Helen Keller Although faith is required perhaps it is not all that is required in order to be saved. Within the bible there is a conflict between the doctrines of two apostles. First the apostle Paul who believed that faith alone could save a person. Next the apostle James who believed that not only faith was required, but that actions were needed as well. When the two doctrines are compared they both contain a key si...
